Ted Wells eviscerates Tom Brady and the New England Patriots

On Monday, the NFL suspended Tom Brady for four games, fined the Patriots $1 million and took away two draft picks for the Deflategate scandal. This was all a result thanks to the work of Ted Wells, who lead the investigation.

Brady’s agent Don Yee called the punishment “ridiculous” and vowed to appeal the decision. Tuesday, Wells held a conference call with reporters because he felt like he had been “personally attacked” by Brady and Yee, and wanted to get some things off his chest. And he went off.
